When Starcraft II finally hits shelves, players will find a new, more modern Battle.net attached to it than the one we came to know back in days of yore. It will be so shiny, in fact, that its ongoing development has pushed back the release date of the game into 2010. Bittersweet news for millions of nerds across the globe.

In a recent statement, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime addressed just how different the new Battle.net service will be. "Our vision for Battle.net is ambitious - we view the next generation of it as crucial to the future of our company." CEO Bobby Kotick added that the new Battle.net will look and feel "similar to XBOX Live," and that it will be "an investment in the future of gaming."
